And from what I'm privy to, deeper discussions on these topics only started yesterday evening - and the escalation in question was only yesterday morning or early afternoon. I may be chilling and available since I'm working from home, that's not the case for everyone, especially the people involved. If people expect immediate results and actions over what is claimed to be a serious issue with moderation and staff behavior, then I don't think their expectations and intentions are in the right place.

Instead of a spam spree, why don't you appeal to a member of the Blue team if you think the moderator response isn't helpful? There's people over the mods if you think they're not acting accordingly to their role. Seems more productive and less concerning than the crash out you've had on forums since then.

Thread also includes HFX now! Congrats @LucyXpher on the VHL hiring!

Congrats

sure

Hi everyone, It do be that time of season again. I'd like to announce that @JCarson is stepping down as GM of the Mexico City Kings, and would like to thank him for his tremendous time in the role. He's been a great member of the VHLM GM team and is well known as an active and positive voice in our community. We're sad to see him go, but we're sure he'll go on to great things in the league in the future! With that, we are officially looking for (at least) one VHLM GM, with the potential for more pending the results of the VHL GM openings. If you're interested in the role, please commend below to indicate your interest. Yada yada don't comment if you're not applying, I will remove you from your current role and force you to GM if you comment here and I decide to hire you. - @VHLM Commissioner

Yes ???????

Tampering again is crazy

If you need a GM as an emergency I'd do it, otherwise happy to AGM.

Hey I run that, send me the paypals folks

Best M playoff game of all time

There's like 3 applicants for 2 roles lmao, don't start this shit

That's what I said last draft . This season should be even worse for moving around in the top 10 imo.

I got a shoutout, I'm proud. But yes we'll likely look at the cap for S98, S97 is a bit too soon for any changes.

If it helps at all, I just merged all the old weekly London press conference threads into a single one so they don't take up like 3 pages by themselves. If it helps a little, I can go merge the rest of the duplicates as well.

Was a really fun time in Halifax this season and I've gotten to experience Lucy as a GM first-hand. Truly a great place to play and every player who comes through this locker room will have a blast! It's sad I won't be able to play with y'all next season, but I'm just glad to have spent time here and met some great folks.

I can do Dooms if it's still pending, lmk

@Gaikoku-hito is deservedly in the HOF as one of the best players and users in the VHL! Congrats buddy!

NO NO NO How to undo signings

Pros: Offensive Mindset - Kazuma Satou, while undersized, is still an offense generating player who's always looking to move the puck up the ice and facilitate breakouts. His presence on the powerplay is formidable, with 9 of his 13 goals in S96 with Halifax coming from the man advantage. Despite joining the team early in the season, Satou led the offensive production of Halifax skaters with the 2nd most points on a young and developing team, showcasing his offensive potential. Skating - Smooth and precise. That's what most have to say about Satou when they watch him play. His skating is well developed, perhaps a perk of his size where finesse and precision is critical to success. Without a size or strength advantage, he has to use his slender frame and low center of gravity to avoid checks and use his speed to generate offense and move the puck up the ice. Cons: Size - At just 5'6, Satou is probably one of the smallest players on the ice at any given point. Perhaps one of the smallest players in league history as well. While this isn't an area he can develop, his size doesn't help for net battles at his position along with his light weight. Look for him to absorb a lot of hits and get bullied off the puck in physical battles. Defensive Skill - Due to his size, play in his own area of the ice needs some creativity. The standard physical approach doesn't work with Satou, and he needs to get creative to recover the puck from opposing players. His length doesn't help either, and sometimes his game seems more fitting for a shifty winger than a defenseman. He'll really need to work to bulk up and develop physicality to be able to produce defensively. Areas of Improvement: Position - Due to his size, a position change to forward isn't off the table. Perhaps its an area that might be made mandatory for the young Japanese defenseman. His skating prowess is there and offensive mentality is already clear. While his positioning defensively is relatively sound, switching to winger might be more beneficial in the long run where his size isn't as important. Physicality - So far, Satou hasn't shown much in the physical play department. Lacking both strength and size, he's prone to get taken away from the puck or bodied away from the play by bigger or more physical opponents. He'll certainly need to bulk up if he wants to compete at higher levels. He may also need to learn to throw the body effectively and get into battles that he hasn't shown much skill in so far.
